Get the most bang for your buck with ATD Dallas!
Whether you recently joined ATD Dallas or have been a long-time member, you may have found yourself asking: “how do I get the most out of my membership?”
ATD Dallas offers a number of avenues for networking and professional development, including chapter meetings, special interest groups, social engagements, and community events. However, the single best way to get value out of your membership is to volunteer!
As a non-profit organization, ATD Dallas is run primarily by volunteers. There is no better way to build strong relationships in this profession than to work with colleagues across the DFW community to support the activities and programming provided by ATD Dallas.
Throughout the year teams of passionate learning professionals work together to plan meetings and events, coordinate logistics, generate communication pieces, plan social events, etc. It would be literally impossible for a handful of people to do it all alone. But when a significant number of people commit to give a little bit of their time – it is incredible what can be accomplished!
So...what is a “little bit of time?” If you have just 2 hours to give ATD this year – here are some of the things you could do to contribute to the chapter:
- Develop and send a chapter email
- Generate a discussion on our LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter pages
- Host and introduce a speaker at a chapter meeting
- Greet people at a chapter meeting or social event
- Call 5 new members and welcome them to the chapter
- Follow up with 5 lapsed members and ask them to consider renewing their membership
If you can give just 8-12 hours a year, here are some things you could do:
- Volunteer at our annual Southwest Learning Summit Conference
- Take responsibility for generating a month of chapter emails and social media messages
- Develop targeted marketing pieces for our different audiences
- Host a special interest group meeting
- Coordinate a happy hour event
- Call 3-5 new members every month to welcome them to the chapter
- Call 3-5 lapsed members and ask them to consider renewing their membership
- Review and select winners of the Dallas Best Place to Learn Award
- Assist the chapter in finding program speakers for chapter events
- Host a meetup group for students in Learning & Development fields
- Mentor a student in Learning & Development
- Coordinate logistics for a chapter meeting.
And if you are looking for an opportunity to enhance your leadership skills, as well as build long lasting relationships in the Learning & Development community, then consider going “all in” by serving on the ATD Dallas Leadership Team.
